Property Value

A ContextMenu that represents the shortcut menu associated with the control.

Remarks

A shortcut menu is also known as a context menu. Shortcut menus are used to give context-specific menu options to users when they right-click on the control.

Notes to Inheritors: When overriding the ContextMenu property in a derived class, use the base class's ContextMenu property to extend the base implementation. Otherwise, you must provide all the implementation. You are not required to override both the get and set accessors of the ContextMenu property; you can override only one if needed.

Example

[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example displays the ContextMenu assigned to a TreeView when the right mouse button is clicked and released. This code assumes you have a Form with a TreeView on it. It is also assumed that the TreeView has a ContextMenu assigned to its ContextMenu property.
